gonfishin, I am using 49-1/2 " radius on my inside mailine and spaced 2-1/2" from dead-center-to-dead-center to the outside line (parallel). My 80' and 85' coaches (with diaphragms) barely clear each other in passing. With 24" radii, I would definitly "eyeball" the clearances on the curves using your longest cars. The 2" rule on straight should work but you may want to reach out to 3" (+) d.c.-to-d.c.on curves to accomodate the "overhang" on longer stock. Best of luck.
